Re: Questions relating to gaining the approval to go to COMMON

What do you need to know?
- Session titles and abstracts?
- Exact times of each session?
- Speakers too?

What difference does knowing the exact times of each class make in your 
budgeting?  Are you trying to say that you might just send people down for 
one-day sessions?  Like if the person needed to learn WAS and all WAS was 
on a Tuesday...?  Although I don't think they ever really lay it out like 
that.

Here we just send two people to every conference and alternate who they 
are.  (Unless it's a very BAD year.)

Re: Questions relating to gaining the approval to go to COMMON






I need to know before April for the fall conference for budgeting 
purposes, our fiscal year starts in April and I need to get it put in 
the budget. Changing the exact dates wouldn't make much difference.
